From CSN New England’s Joe Haggerty:
Bruins sign Matt Fraser to 1-year, 2-way deal and invite Ville Leino to NHL camp. They've also signed Steve Eminger to AHL deal #BruinsTalk

Leino, of course, was bought out by the Sabres this summer after a disastrous stint in Buffalo. At Bruins camp, he’ll join another veteran on a tryout, Simon Gagne.
Ville Leino will join Simon Gagne on a #bruins training camp tryout. A team so close to the salary cap can use cheap veterans for depth.

Eminger, meanwhile, provides organizational depth. The 30-year-old has played almost 500 NHL games, shoots right, and, well, don’t forget about all those Johnny Boychuk trade rumors.
Sounds like Chiarelli will wait to trade a D until after camp starts, maybe not until regular season.
